Johnny – who named the company after his wife Caroline Churchill – is acknowledged as one of the best blenders and tasters of Port in the business. As a result his boutique firm produces some of the highest quality and most individual expressions made today. These are fortified wines that in the company’s own words really do force you to “rethink Port”. No longer is this simply the drink of grandparents but a new movement that’s fun approachable and fiercely modern.
